MARSEILLE, France Bourbon Subsea Services will manage the transportation and installation of a 3.6-MW floating wind turbine prototype, under a partnership with TetraSpar Demonstrator.<\/p>\n
The scope covers project management, engineering, installation, and offshore execution from the assembly port in Denmark through hookup and the inter-array cable installation this summer on the Metcenter test site in Norway.<\/p>\n
This is Bourbon Subsea Services fifth floating wind project.<\/p>\n
The TetraSpar foundation concept is a modular, building block arrangement: each foundation is assembled from tubular steel modules, most of which are said to be common to all configurations.<\/p>\n
Manufacturing is performed in factories using industrialized methods, with assembly near the site, and towing, taking days or weeks, instead of months.<\/p>\n
Stability is provided by a keel deployed 50 m (164 ft) below the floater. Bourbon Subsea Services will use a special method to connect the keel to the floater in port and, once offshore, to lower it safely into position.<\/p>\n
